Savannah Guthrie marked her first Mother’s Day without her mother by the phone with a haunting plea to the public, sharing an emotional Instagram tribute as the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie reached a grim milestone of 100 days with no suspects, no arrests and a $1.2 million reward still unclaimed.
The “Today” show co-anchor posted the heartfelt Reel on Sunday, May 10, 2026, weaving together 44 seconds of home videos and family photographs that captured her mother — known affectionately to family as “Nonie” — taking selfies, laughing with grandchildren and, at one poignant moment, telling the camera “Miss you.” Photos from Nancy Guthrie’s younger years were also included in the montage.
“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie — we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you. We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference,” Guthrie wrote in the caption.
Monday, May 11, marks exactly 100 days since Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills outside of Tucson, Arizona. A family member dropped her off at the residence after dinner at around 9:45 p.m. on January 31, 2026. She was reported missing around noon the next day after she failed to show up at a neighbor’s house to watch an online church service.
A Trail Of Chilling Evidence
The hours surrounding Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance have produced a deeply unsettling timeline. In the early morning hours of February 1, her doorbell camera was disconnected. Shortly after, her pacemaker app showed that her device had disconnected from her phone. Investigators later discovered blood belonging to her on the front porch — evidence one retired FBI agent described as a possible “last stand.”
Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was removed from her home against her will, though investigators still have no leading theory about a motive. On March 6, the Pima County sheriff said officials have not ruled out the possibility that more than one person was involved.
On February 10, the FBI released images and video obtained from the doorbell camera showing a masked and armed individual outside the home the night Nancy Guthrie vanished. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said it was unable to find a DNA match for gloves recovered near the residence. The FBI is still analyzing mixed DNA found at the home, including a hair sample, according to recent reporting. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, which is leading the investigation with the FBI’s assistance, said this month that the case “remains active and ongoing.”
An Anonymous Plea At The Memorial
As the case stretches past three months without a break, the community has rallied around the family. A makeshift memorial outside Nancy Guthrie’s home has grown, and over the weekend an anonymous letter was placed there, addressed directly to the abductor.
The letter urged the perpetrator to do the right thing before Mother’s Day, invoking the abductor’s own mother and pleading for Nancy Guthrie’s return so the family could celebrate the holiday together.
The combined reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery now stands at $1.2 million. Local crime stoppers and the FBI have each posted rewards of more than $100,000, while the Guthrie family is offering $1 million on its own. Despite the massive incentive, authorities have not identified a suspect or a motive.
Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Mike Feldman, whom she married in 2014, also posted a public Mother’s Day tribute to his wife on Instagram, writing, “To the strongest person I know. Surrounding you with love on Mother’s Day.” The couple shares two children, Vale and Charles.
Moving Forward With A Broken Heart
Even as her family endures the agony of not knowing, Savannah Guthrie announced on Monday on the “Today” show with Jimmy Fallon that she will host a new NBC primetime game show based on Wordle, the popular word game published by The New York Times. Fallon is serving as executive producer, and filming will take place in Manchester, England, this summer, with the show set to air next year.
Production had been delayed following Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, and Savannah used the announcement to thank Fallon and the network for waiting. She told reporters that she had shown her mother the pilot back in December 2025, before she vanished.
“Everything is strange right now. It’s strange to get up and do the Today show every day, and it’s strange to say that I’m going to do a game show when your heart is broken,” Guthrie said. She added that she was determined to “put one foot in front of the other.”
Anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is asked to call the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900 or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Tips can also be submitted online at tips.fbi.gov.
